Noted ornithologist Jeb Bush today confirmed that the call of the right-wing “wacko bird” is the standard chirp, and he’s adept at ignoring the sound. The Washington Post reports that Bush, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, defended his conservative credentials and assured supporters, “I will be able to, I think, manage my way through all the chirpers out there.”
Tweeters, it seems, have run out of patience with bird metaphors.

@JebBush Dismissing your critics as "chirpers" sounds like elitist Obamaspeak … learn some humility from your father and brother

@DavidLimbaugh @WindySideofCare @DLoesch My goodness, how uncivil: chirpers, Hobbits, wacko birds. Must not be able to argue like grownups.

One bright side: as Barbara Bush noted back in April, “There are other families” out there.
I agree with Jeb's mom. No more Bushes.
